Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) is trying to find the powerful Pandora’s box before it falls into the hands of an unscrupulous scientist. When it was time to put together a sequel to the 2001 movie, director Jan De Bont must have thought, “why not turn this into another Raiders of the Lost Ark”? Then he thought it might be a good idea to include a sequence where Lara gets to punch a great white shark in the mouth. I beg to differ. The sequel is even more ridiculous and duller than the original.
